		<h3>Welcome to the PureSilk Project.</h3>
		
		<div class="content">
		<p>
		We just launched this site on 03/21/2011 and are still in the process of setting up all of our assets.  We are an Open Source Development 
		(OSD) project that offers some nice tools to the Java / Python community for building high end distributed systems.  The offerings are 
		culled from our commercial products which have been up and running for over 5 years (except of course the Android stuff which is very new) 
		and has withstood the test of time under heavy load.  
		</p>
		<p>
		The core of the PureSilk World is the <span>SilkServer</span>.  This is a set of Java components that can be used to set up <span>
		Action Domain Services</span>, which is a term we coined to describe a deliverable artifact (WAR file) that you can drop onto a J2EE 
		web container (JBoss, Tomcat, etc.) to bring up a server that responds to HTTP Action Requests.  The programmer then programs Actions
		to correspond with the requests and you're off and running.  
		</p>
		<p>
		There is also a Python version or the Action Domain Services, the PspyDer Web Server, that can run the same pattern from a Python platform.   
        While this platform is quite easy to develope for, it has a fairly complicated develpoment environment that requires a ton of thrid party 
        packages.  We also have a failry nice tookit (PspyGear) that provides support for various niches in the development process for
        handling CSV files, email, database access and several other infrastructure related tasks.
        </p>.  		  
        <p>
        And of course there is the newest member of the family, the PureSilk-Android sub project.  This offers a set of components that we 
		developed for our own Android apps to provide asynchronous HTTP clients and some basic Database componetry.
